Chapter 849 Life Never Ends, the Fight Never Stops!
Ji Ke squatted down in front of the black Charizard and carefully observed its condition.
The scars on Charizard's back had faded somewhat, and its eyes were much clearer than when it first arrived.
"With his current strength, he is already capable of challenging the powerful figures deep within the valley."
"If you can win the challenge, you will gain the qualification to enter the Heart of Sacred Flame and soak in the lava."
Cynthia stood to the side, her gaze fixed on the faintly steaming spot deep within the valley: "Is the Heart of the Sacred Flame some kind of treasure land?"
Ji Ke nodded: "It is indeed a treasure land. The Heart of Sacred Fire is a natural magma pool, but the magma energy inside is dozens of times more concentrated than that of ordinary geothermal energy."
"When the fire-breathing dragon is immersed in it, its body is nourished by the magma energy, and the temperature of its flames also increases."
He paused, as if remembering something: "There was once a Charizard that had been granted the right to soak for many years, and it turned its flames blue."
"It also activated the dragon bloodline within him, granting him powerful dragon-attribute skills."
"After that, that fire-breathing dragon roamed the valley for many years."
Ash clenched his fist, his eyes shining: "Can my Charizard challenge the Sacred Heart?"
Ji Ke glanced at him, then at the orange fire-breathing dragon beside him, and spread his hands:
"As for you, my advice is to wait a bit longer."
Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth and said:
"Damn it! Charizard, let's go, let's go for special training right now!"
His Charizard roared and strode after him toward the clearing at the edge of the valley.
Ji Ke turned to Li Shuwen and asked:
"Mr. Shuwen, can the black Charizard's current body withstand high-intensity combat?"
Li Shuwen watched the black fire-breathing dragon walk away towards the open area in the distance:
"As long as it's not a battle that pushes him beyond his limits, it won't have much of an impact on him. On the contrary, it can help him absorb the effects of the potion."
Joey Sun also chimed in:
"Fighting against his own kind also helped him recover his spirit; after one battle, his condition did improve considerably."
Li Shuwen walked over, took out two light red energy cubes from his pocket, and handed them to the black fire-breathing dragon.
The Charizard lowered its head, grabbed the food, chewed it twice, and swallowed it, the flames on its tail flickering slightly.
"Go ahead." Li Shuwen patted his neck. "Let Ji Ke show you the powerful figures deep in the valley."
Charizard straightened up and followed Ji Ke into the depths of the valley.
His steps were more powerful than yesterday.
Li Shuwen turned and walked towards the direction of Xiaozhi's special training.
Ash's Charizard was repeatedly practicing its Flamethrower in the open space, the flames hitting the rocks in front of it and exploding into a shower of sparks.
The Charizard was panting, and the power of its flames was noticeably weaker than usual.
He was a little tired, but Xiao Zhi kept shouting for another round.
Li Shuwen stepped forward and stood next to Xiao Zhi.
"Charizard, could you concentrate your flames a bit more?"
Xiao Zhi paused for a moment, then turned to look at him: "More focused?"
Li Shuwen nodded: "The flames you're spewing out now are spreading out, which looks spectacular, but they're not destructive enough."
"Compressing the flame into a single line will double its power."
Charizard tilted its head and looked at him, not quite understanding what compression meant.
Li Shuwen did not offer any further explanation.
He took out a Poké Ball and gently flicked it away.
Red light converged, and Blaziken stood on the field.
His body lines were fluid, the white flames on his ankles flickered gently, and his eyes were calm and focused.
"Let's attack," Li Shuwen said.
Ash understood immediately: "Charizard, use Flamethrower!"
The Charizard opened its mouth, and orange-red flames shot out, sweeping towards the Blaziken.
Blaziken stood still, neither dodging nor defending.
His body suddenly glowed with a deep red light.
The fiery properties were actively activated, and the entire body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of fiery armor.
Then he opened his mouth and spewed out a golden pillar of fire.
The pillar of fire was only as thick as an arm, but its color was so intense it was almost tangible.
The moment the golden pillar of fire collided with the flames spewed by the fire-breathing dragon, there was no confrontation, no stalemate.
The dragon's flames were cleaved in two by the golden pillar of fire, like a red-hot iron knife slicing through butter.
The golden pillar of fire pierced through the scattered flames and struck the Charizard squarely in the chest.
Charizard's body flew backward.
Xiaoxia stood on the sidelines, her eyes wide:
"Is this also a jet flame? How come even water cannons can't stop this?"
Brock pushed up his glasses: "The Blaziken can actually activate Blaze directly, and control it with such precision... that's really impressive."
Charizard got up from the ground, a scorch mark on its chest, but it didn't hesitate. It roared and took off, charging towards Blaziken.
It moved very fast, and its right claw was radiating the light of a dragon claw.
The blazing chicken sidestepped, its movements as light as if it were dancing.
He swung his right fist in one fluid motion—a Flame Fist!
The fist struck Charizard's abdomen, and Charizard's body flew out again.
After landing, he was in so much pain that his mouth was open but he couldn't make a sound.
Ash's voice came from the sidelines:
"Charizard! Stand up! You can do it!"
Charizard used its paws to support itself on the ground and slowly got up.
His body was trembling, and the light in his eyes burned even brighter.
Li Shuwen looked at him:
"Concentrate your mind, ignite your fighting spirit, let the flames burn, for life is endless, the fight never ends!"
Charizard raised its head and let out a hoarse roar.
A faint red glow began to appear on the surface of his body.
It wasn't a full-blown blaze, but rather a thin mist, as if the flames had finally found a crack after being suppressed for too long.
Joey Sun stood at a distance, watching this scene, and took a soft breath:
"Is this the power of Li Shuwen, the Midas Touch...?"
Blaziken opened its mouth again.
Golden pillars of fire shot towards the fire-breathing dragon, their momentum even stronger than before.
The fire-breathing dragon did not dodge.
The flames engulfed him completely.
Golden flames burned on his body, licking the red glow that had just appeared on him.
The red light wasn't burned through; instead, it became even brighter.
The flames stopped.
Charizard stood still, its body glowing with a steady red light.
He looked down at his own body, then looked up at the Blaziken.
He rushed out.
Flash Charge.
The Charizard's body was enveloped in that red light, like a burning comet.
The speed was much faster than before, and the momentum was much stronger.
The Blaziken also moved.
Flame Charge!
The same move, but the power is on a completely different level.
The two flames collided head-on.
The shockwave exploded, scattering the surrounding debris in all directions.
The Charizard flew out from the center of the collision.
He rolled twice on the ground, then lay there with his eyes closed.
The faint red light faded away.
Blaziken stood motionless at the point of impact.
Ash ran over and crouched down next to Charizard.
His hand rested on the Charizard's back, feeling the rise and fall of its breath.
"It's alright." Li Shuwen walked over and patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder. "Practice hard. I believe in you guys."
When the Charizard woke up, the sky was already beginning to darken in the west.
Xiao Gang squatted down beside him, sprayed him with ointment, and then broke off an energy biscuit and fed it to him.
The Charizard took a few bites of the energy biscuit, then stood up and shook off the dust.
He walked over to Ash and nudged Ash's back with his head.
Xiao Zhi turned around, looked at him, and grinned:
"Do we still need to practice?"
Charizard let out a low growl, and the flames on its tail flared up again.
